Photojournalism at war: how do you do it (and pay for it) in the new media market?

Guest blog by Danfung Dennis which explores the opportunities and challenges of conflict photojournalism today. “I am returning to Afghanistan this week to experiment with this model. I will be embedded with US forces in the Korengal Valley and hope to shoot HD video and stills, edit and produce a pieces on my macbook, encode for broadcast, web, iphone and video podcast platforms, transmit by satellite to my website and update my RSS feed, twitter, facebook, vimeo and blog platforms with regular video dispatches from the front line.”

What will come is a more user-friendly site created to reflect the fast-paced, edgy nature of the Internet age.
